Tahoe Thing to Do: Health & Wellness

Want to feel your best for all of your Tahoe adventures? IV therapy is a game-changer when it comes to thriving in the mountain region, especially for visitors who are not used to this climate and elevation. Whether you want to quickly acclimate to the elevation, optimize your performance for strenuous outdoor activities or recover from a night out in SLT, a boost of IV hydration, glutathione, vitamin C or Myers Cocktail at Osmosis Lounge will have you feeling rejuvenated and full of energy. As locals know, these therapies are also beneficial holistic treatments for medical conditions and reversing the effects of aging. Founded by ER nurses and health enthusiasts, Osmosis recognizes the critical role nutrients play in your body's optimal performance. Whether you're a passionate athlete, an adventurous traveler or just someone who wants to look and feel their best, Osmosis Lounge has options for you. Appointments take about 30 minutes; if you want something quicker, a B12 or endurance injection will have you in and out in 10 minutes. Same-day appointments are available.

Take a look around and it’s clear that Truckee is a special town: history, mountains, lakes, river and forests. But there are many hidden gems known mostly to locals. Those gems are kept shining by the Truckee-Donner Recreation & Park District for the enjoyment of locals and visitors. Some of the amenities and facilities managed by the district are accessible for free, others for a fee. The district has deservedly received awards for its facilities, from the nine-hole Ponderosa Golf Course and an ice rink in winter to super-kid-friendly West End Beach and the public piers on Donner Lake. The crown jewel is the 40,000-square-foot Community Recreation Center with, among other things, a two-court gymnasium, a state-of-the-art indoor aquatics center, an indoor running track, exercise equipment, two climbing walls (one is 29 feet tall) and a state-of-the-art aquatics center.
